About Me

Since the 1990s I have been very involved with fighting the military "don't ask don't tell" policy for gays in the military, and with First Amendment issues. Best contact is 571-334-6107 (legitimate calls; messages can be left; if not picked up retry; I don't answer when driving) Three other url's: doaskdotell.com, billboushka.com johnwboushka.com Links to my URLs are provided for legitimate content and user navigation purposes only.
My legal name is "John William Boushka" or "John W. Boushka"; my parents gave me the nickname of "Bill" based on my middle name, and this is how I am generally greeted. This is also the name for my book authorship. On the Web, you can find me as both "Bill Boushka" and "John W. Boushka"; this has been the case since the late 1990s. Sometimes I can be located as "John Boushka" without the "W." That's the identity my parents dealt me in 1943!

When I moved into my condo, I got a new cable-Internet (Cox)
and pretty soon noticed that even though I was connecting my iPhone to wifi, my
iCloud backup stopped working.

Then I find that scheduling an appointment with the “genius
bar” at an Apple store is much harder than it used to be. It was over a week in advance. When I got there, they didn’t solve it.

So here is what finally happened. I managed to change the PW to the iCloud
account on my iPhone from the Settings, my name, ICloud.

With the new one, I changed the logon to the (https) icloud site on a macbook. It took.
The Macbook keeps flashing two extra logons where the PW takes but it
never sends back the two-step verification box on the MacBook. This seems like an OS problem, might go away
with a new OS.

I bought a new phone-USB connector at a Best Buy, and tried
both windows machines and then the MacBook.
On Windows, I couldn’t easily get to the photos on the phone (without
some third party app). But on the MacBook I did, and under iPhoto, it quickly
added all the new photos to the MacBook HD.
Then suddenly, with the Icloud site logged on, it started updating the iCloud
from the MacBook. The whole event took about 90 minutes for 300
photos (it was slow), just before Trump’s SOTU.

New York State has passed a law, starting today, to require
employers to offer paid family leave for up to 12 weeks in a variety of circumstances.
These appear to include eldercare for
parents or family pressures when someone (a spouse) is deployed in the military,
as well as birth of a child.

The NBC article(by Pete Williams) did not say if it includes
adoption of a child.

Vermont has passed a law, joining about half the states in
banning employers from asking social media passwords. ]
